Using SMSLS.INI to Map Domains Fails on SMS1.1J (150859)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q150859

SYMPTOMS

In the SMS 1.1 Japanese environment, it is not possible to map Windows NT clients to <new domain> from <current domain> using the Smsls.ini file.

Running Smsls.bat in verbose mode will show: 
     Find the Server from the INI file
   get def INI Name using path from arg[0]
   inifile(\\<servername>\NETLOGONsmsls.ini)
   SMS.INI sez () () () () ()
   current sez (\\<servername>\NETLOGONsmsls.ini)
   Check (\\<servername>\NETLOGONsmsls.ini) for domain
   Error:-1 Opening (\\<servername>\NETLOGONsmsls.ini)
NOTE: This problem occurs only with the Japanese version of SMS1.1(x86, Alpha, Mips).

CAUSE

A backslash (\) is missing between NETLOGON and smsls.ini.
